This is really excellent. The characters are really well developed and the plot is much more involved than you would think, given the length. Because of the size of each chapter, it's longer than it looks. Which is great, because I kinda didn't want it to end. Sweet and awkward and a little more real than most BL.

Good one - did not expect it to be so well-written and fleshed out. The characters were great and felt quite realistic, although maybe the MC's feelings came a little abrupt, as I interpret it, he had subconsciously been attracted to the ML for a while.

4.2-4.5 stars

I really liked the MC - I generally like seme protagonists (they're too few and far between), and Adachi is this honest, wears-his-heart-on-a-sleeve, romantic type that still felt like a real person and not one of those annoying idealized seme/gong types. The ML is... more>> not just a tsundere, he's actively trying to drive the MC away, despite or probably because

Spoiler

he's been secretly in love with him for a long while and is scared for losing yet another love one.

[collapse]

The ML is not easy to love, but I understand why the MC falls so hard for him, because they are kindred spirits.

There's a bit of dubcon and the smut isn't the idealized, vanilla type, but feels more realistic (thankfully). And it's very well-written. Both MC and ML are quite manly men, and the uke is not the soft, naïve or whiny type like in some BL. So far it's the best Japanese BL I've read from this site, much better quality than most stories.

I only wish the story had been longer, it would have been nice to see how they handled being in a relationship, and the extra with the ML's point of view was a bit too short. <<less

The characters and story were well written. I like the MC and ML's character development, the pacing is good as well.

It's only 12 chapters long, but the size is longer than it looks. It's an enjoyable read although at first I'm getting irritated with both the ML and MC, lol. The bonus chapter is Niimori's point of view, I wished it is much longer, but oh well at least I was able to see his real feelings towards Adachi.

Overall, this is such a treat! So give it ago.

A snarky rivalry between two firefighting professionals turns into a snarky romance. One lead is straightforward and sincere to his feelings. Which is written properly as both a strength and a weakness he has to deal with. Our other lead is roundabout and avoids feelings all while maintaining control in all areas he can. Again both a strength and a weakness.

The background setting and overall plot are very interesting. My only wish is that for some of the information we learn through conversation, especially at the end, I would have... more>> liked a few more chapters letting us actually see it.

Recommend if you like combative relationships that evolve into persnickety heartfelt partnerships. <<less

I might say, I wasn't expecting it to come off as realistic as possible. Unlike the usual MC and leads that instantly get together w/o much hardship, this one shows how complicated the process is, which made my heart hurt as how they can't end up together instantly.

The story and characters were well written. They have their own characteristic and attitude, even how the events progressed and how they finally ended up together was surely amazing.

Lastly, don't get fooled on how "few" the chapters are, each chapter is lengthy and... more>> definitely won't turn you down. A great read! <<less

One of the best pieces of writing on this platform. The characters are well developed, relatable, and interesting. Although there is a lot of emphasis on smut (extremely well-written, realistic smut which doesn't come off as unnecessary or embarrassing), the plot stays enjoyable to read even for those who prefer their stories vanilla. It's quite short, but because of the brilliantly-paced story development, you can't really feel it until the end, where it leaves you yearning for more chapters. Such a treat!!

Overall it's alright but just too much non-con for my liking. Characters are nothing really special like the other comments suggested nor is their relationship that deep or well written. They just keep going in circles for far too long before getting together. Slightly disappointed.

I thought the cover was just uploaded from another manga but when I looked at the author's name I was convinced it was intended for this novel since the art style was indeed from Sakuragi Yaya. Her works are really steamy~

Regarding this novel, I really love the chemistry between the characters. I'm probably biased since am more into enemy turned to lovers trope but this is a well written plot so I would definitelt recommend this. It's no wonder how it has gotten the 4.5 rating. 🥹

Cute novel. To be honest, I initially didn’t like the cover so didn’t expect to like the novel. However, the idiom about judging covers again holds true. ☺️ MC, Adachi Kosuke, is honest, straight forward, and rash. ML, Nimori Mihaya, is calculating and suave. Even though the intro gives the gist of the plot and the followup is predictable, the story is still entertaining.

Spoiler

Although ML seemed to dislike MC, he actually had a crush on MC since their trainee days. ML did not pursue MC because he knew MC was straight.
